There are three American League hitters who have delivered more extra-base power per plate appearance than any others.
Their names are Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh and Addison Barger.
Yep, that'd be the defending AL MVP, the guy on pace to have the best-hitting catcher season ever and then the Blue Jays' surprise outfielder.
The specific stat is this: That trio make up the only three in the American League to average 14-plus extra base hits per 100 at bats, according to Codify.
The list also includes two National League superstars: Corbin Carroll and Shohei Ohtani.
Barger earned this statistic with a crushed home run in Thursday night's win over the Yankees.

The 25-year old Barger entered this season with 17 career MLB homers. He already has 11 this season. He's hitting more than 30 points better than his career batting average, too.
He has gone deep in two consecutive games, and three out of the last five.
It's not a fluke. Barger has some of the best exit velocity stats in baseball.
Just enjoy the show, because every time Barger steps in, he's capable of ripping a rocket.
